I updated in my Linux machine the java 1.4.2 to the latest built 1.4.2_b28.
Now I don't get the exception but I got the same behavior in VisAD.

Any clues?

Thanks,
Ricardo

Hi All,

I installed Sun 1.4.2 a while ago, and I am very happy with its
performance in Linux, However there is bug on this release that seems to
affect VisAD.  The problem that araises in Visad is that some points in
a lines (e.g. Grid2Dset) are given the vaule "Infinity", which makes the
line go across the image

The exception I got is:

This is a known bug in Java.  The report can be found in
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4755500.html
It affected previous versions of Java, and it seems it affects as well
this new release.

Is it possible to come up with a workaround for this bug?  Is it
actually the same bug.

REPRODUCIBILITY :

This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------

public class MathBugTest {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
   System.out.println(Math.round(1d)); // prints "1", as expected
   for (int i=0; i<2000; i++) {
       Math.round(Double.NaN);
   }
   System.out.println(Math.round(1d)); // prints "0", which is wrong
}

}

---------- END SOURCE ---------

Thanks,
Ricardo
